Rusted Rye IPA, named after a famously random line from the B-52’s song “Love Shack” (see video below), is a beer with multi-layered flavors. It features a rye that adds a spicy black pepper-like bite nestled in a warm biscuit flavor with a hint of toast, according to the brewery team.
Rusted Rye IPA will be released for distribution the first week in May, but you can get a preview of it at the Salt & Smoke Festival this Saturday.
